    24 Things Every Candle Lover Needs In Their Life (Including A Few Candles, Obviously)

    If you currently have three dozen candles sitting on your shelf, this is for you.

    We hope you love the products we recommend! All of them were independently selected by our editors. Just so you know, BuzzFeed may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them. Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.

    1. A rechargeable electric lighter so you never have to worry about finding matches (or burning yourself with said matches) whenever you want to light a candle.

    2. Or a jar of long matches for the purists who love lighting your candles the traditional way. Thanks to the length, you can even use this when your candle is almost completely burned down.

    3. A candle wick trimmer if you want to take your candle game to expert mode. Trimming the wick before the first burn and then in between burns will ensure your candle burns evenly.

    4. A jar of Stick-um candle adhesive to place at the bottom of tapered candles so they stand upright in your candle holders. It works much better and is way safer than the usual method of pouring hot wax into your candle holder.

    5. A New Home candle if you're shopping for a housewarming gift for a fellow candle lover. Tell them to place this in their entryway so they're greeted with the calming scent of fresh linen and lime every time they walk through the door.

    6. A set of tea light containers with a beautiful mosaic design that gives off a gorgeous glow around your room when you have lit candles inside. And even when the candles aren't lit, they look just as pretty sitting there on their own.

    7. Or this tea light holder that casts a comforting mountain shadow on your wall. This might just take your candle setup from moderately cozy to downright heavenly.

    8. A candle storage box if you like to only have seasonally appropriate candles out on display but want to keep your out-of-season varieties safe and secure until the weather changes!

    9. A very appropriate sweatshirt now that fall is quickly approaching and you know all of your candles are about to get the most action they've gotten all year.

    10. Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day lavender-scented soy candle that gives off a seriously impressive throw when lit (aka how far the candle's scent spreads throughout a room). Plus: It'll make your whole place smell like fresh laundry, even if your hamper is currently overflowing.

    11. A candle warmer reviewers say helps make their candles last way longer than the traditional burning method. It'll automatically shut off after eight hours, so you never have to worry about overheating.

    12. A Pet House Candle made with an odor neutralizer specifically designed to fight unwanted smells caused by your stinky (but lovable) pet. Perfect for candle lovers who also love their pets, but would rather not smell their pets 24/7.

    13. A reed diffuser if you're looking to expand beyond the conventional candle experience and want to experiment with a new way to fill your room with a pretty scent.

    14. A snuffer because every candle enthusiast knows how annoying it is when you blow out a candle and then get a huge cloud of smoke right in your face. This will also keep your candle burning more evenly because you won't blow the hot wax around when you extinguish it.

    15. A Birthdate Candle that might just be the most giftable, customizable candle on the market — you pick the recipient's birthday, and they'll receive a specialized scent as well as a fun astrological write-up on the container. Buying birthday gifts for your friends just got so much easier.

    16. A set of candle holders for tapered candles that'll give your space a sophisticated vibe whether you place them on your mantle, bookshelf, or dinner table.

    17. An illusion candle if your love for candles is infinite, and you want a candle that ~reflects~ that. You'll adore the calming effect this beauty gives off when it's lit.

    18. A ridiculously cool-looking icicle candle that looks like something straight out of Game of Thrones once the wax starts melting. Great for anyone with a proclivity for spooky decor.

    19. A library candle to light whenever you feel like staying inside all day as you curl up on the couch with a new book. From my experience, candle lovers and bookworms usually go hand in hand, so this seems like a perfect match.

    20. An indoor fireplace if you want to take your love for the cozy feeling of a burning candle to the next level. Not only will you get the ambiance of controlled, vibrant flames, but you can also literally make s'mores in your own apartment. Genius!

    21. A DIY candle kit so you can dabble in the art of creating your own scents. It's also an eco-friendly way to reuse a finished candle jar.

    22. A candle topper that not only makes your candle look fancier, but it will also help ensure even burning and prevent the dreaded tunneling effect (aka when your candle burns down and leave unburned wax on the sides of your jar).

    23. A 180-ounce soy candle if you find yourself burning through candles at an alarming rate and want one that will last more than just one week. We have a feeling this candle will be with you for a long time.

    24. Jonathan Adler's Pop Candle to light whenever you have something big to celebrate, like a new job, a birthday, or an engagement. And when it's not lit, the shiny gold container will look fabulous sitting on your shelf.
